Does anyone by chance have or know where I might obtain a copy of the Apple ][
DOS 3.3 Operating System which supports the use of 3 1/2" disks ?

I have heard that while Apple Computer never provided such, there were those
who modified the operating system themselves to allow DOS 3.3 commands, etc.
to work on 3 1/2" disks, and thus allow those of us with UniDisk drives to
port our software on 5 1/4" disks over to 3 1/2" disks.

I have never had any trouble porting over programs on 5 1/4" to 3 1/2" which
run under ProDOS, but my options appear limited with regard to my DOS 3.3 OS
programs.  I have heard of a couple of programs (Menu Master, etc.) which
allow DOS 3.3 programs to run under the ProDOS enviroment, but I would prefer
to find someone who has a copy of the modified DOS 3.3 operating system which
allows the use of 3 1/2" disks.

Please EMAIL me any comments, suggestions, etc.  Thanks in advance.
